Mallett <br /> Cc: Molly Boyle; Tim Smith, PE, PLS;Jones, DeAngelo J <br /> Subject: Proposed Fairway Hills Subdivision <br /> I have reviewed the preliminary plan dated 04/16/19. Based on the information provided, the subdivision streets, proposed <br /> access and road improvements to US 70 can be approved and permitted subject to submittal of final plans meeting all NCDOT <br /> design requirements. While the plans are understandably incomplete at this time, I am providing the following comments to <br /> DAC and the Applicant. <br /> Horizontal and Vertical Alignment: <br /> • Some centerline radii and vertical K values do not meet NCDOT requirements. Please refer to NCDOT Subdivision Road <br /> Minimum Construction Standards <br /> Mail Kiosk: <br /> • Locate mail kiosk outside of NCDOT R/W. Provide internal accommodation for backout of parking stall. Provide driveway <br /> connection to proposed subdivision street meeting NCDOT minimum design requirements. Refer to NCDOT CBU policy <br /> and guidelines for other requirements and acceptable alternate designs. Consult with local Postmaster for any additional <br /> requirements and acceptability for service. <br /> https://connect.ncdot.gov/resources/safety/Teppl/TEPPL%20AI1%20Documents%20LibrarV/M01 CBU.pdf <br /> Drainage: <br /> • Provide drainage design per NCDOT requirements <br /> US 70 Improvements: <br /> • Is proposed widening to be asymmetrical or near-side?There is conflicting information on the plan <br /> • Refer to NCDOT Policy on Street and Driveway Access to North Carolina Highways ( pg. 78 and 79)for minimum <br /> geometric requirements for turn lanes and associated transitions. Adjust design accordingly <br /> • Provide pavement marking plan per requirements of NCDOT Roadway Standards Drawings. Install snowplowable <br /> markers if existing. <br /> • Retain existing width for lanes, and paved and unpaved shoulders <br /> • Minimum pavement design in widening to be 5" B25.00, 4" 119.00 and 1.5" S9.5C with additional 1.5" S93C full width <br /> overly within construction limits. <br /> C.
